Proceeding contribution from Lord Skelmersdale (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Monday, 4 June 2007. It occurred during Committee of the Whole House (HL) and Debate on bill on Pensions Bill.


Pensions Bill

I shall certainly withdraw it. I was extremely interested in the further information that the Minister gave me over and above what I gleaned from proceedings in another place. I shall study it with great interest. She appeared to say that, with the exception of a tiny minority, there was no problem in the reallocation of child benefit to the correct parent. I am delighted to hear that that is the case. As regards the new arrangements for carers credit, one rather wonders whether that is likely to be of the same low order. As I said, I shall study very carefully what the Minister said and, if necessary, come back at a later stage. I beg leave to withdraw the amendment. Amendment, by leave, withdrawn. Clause 4 agreed to. Clause 5 [Up-rating of basic pension etc. and standard minimum guarantee by reference to earnings]:
